Solo by Kwame Alexander and Mary Rand Hess is a New York Times
bestseller! Kirkus Reviews said Solo is, "A contemporary hero's
journey, brilliantly told." Through the story of a young Black man
searching for answers about his life, Solo empowers, engages, and
encourages teenagers to move from heartache to healing, burden to
blessings, depression to deliverance, and trials to triumphs. Blade
never asked for a life of the rich and famous. In fact, he'd give
anything not to be the son of Rutherford Morrison, a washed-up rock
star and drug addict with delusions of a comeback. Or to no longer
be part of a family known most for lost potential, failure, and
tragedy, including the loss of his mother. The one true light is
his girlfriend, Chapel, but her parents have forbidden their
relationship, assuming Blade will become just like his father. In
reality, the only thing Blade and Rutherford have in common is the
music that lives inside them. And songwriting is all Blade has left
after Rutherford, while drunk, crashes his high school graduation
speech and effectively rips Chapel away forever. But when a
long-held family secret comes to light, the music disappears. In
its place is a letter, one that could bring Blade the freedom and
love he's been searching for, or leave him feeling even more
adrift. Solo: Is written by New York Times bestselling author and
Newbery Medal and Coretta Scott King Book Award-winner Kwame
Alexander Showcases Kwame's signature intricacy, intimacy, and
poetic style, by exploring what it means to finally go home An
#OwnVoices novel that features a BIPOC protagonist on a search for
his roots and identity Received great reviews from Publishers
Weekly, School Library Journal, Booklist, and Kirkus. If you enjoy
